Add ripple effect to a custom gesture in Jetpack Compose

Issue

I try to create a tappable surface in Jetpack Compose where the elevation changes when the user taps the surface. The following code already works:

var tapped by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
val elevation by animateDpAsState(
    targetValue = if (tapped) 0.dp else 5.dp,
    animationSpec = tween(50)
)

Surface(
    shape = RoundedCornerShape(20.dp),
    modifier = Modifier
         .padding(16.dp)
         .requiredSize(150.dp)
         .pointerInput(Unit) {
              detectTapGestures(onPress = {
              tapped = true

              tryAwaitRelease()

              tapped = false
         })
    },
    elevation = elevation
) {
  ...
}

However I would like to have a ripple effect during the tap. How could I achieve this?

The default button/surface onClick and clickable is not suitable because it only handles press inputs but no taps.

Solution

You use Modifier.indication to add ripple effect, and pass events with interactionSource to update it state like this:

var tapped by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
val interactionSource = remember { MutableInteractionSource() }

Surface(
    modifier = Modifier
        .indication(interactionSource, LocalIndication.current)
        .pointerInput(Unit) {
            detectTapGestures(onPress = { offset ->
                tapped = true

                val press = PressInteraction.Press(offset)
                interactionSource.emit(press)

                tryAwaitRelease()

                interactionSource.emit(PressInteraction.Release(press))

                tapped = false
            })
        }
) {
}
